just reduce caloric intake by 500 cal/day. That results in 1 pound
a week. 500 cal. aint much. 2 candy bars. Order of fries.
Anything at McDonalds (other than salad). 1.5 scoops of premium
ice cream. Reduce portions by about 1/4.

Want to speed up the process? Take a 30 min. walk every day.

Most reputable guidelines and physicians and nutritionists agree
that more than 2 lb/week isn't really healthy.

In short -- be sensible and don't try anything drastic.
